Even my non-scientist (as opposed to "unscientific") chums will enjoy this one, as it pokes fun at a number of beautifully-feathered Oozlum birds: http://scienceblogs.com/effectmeasure/2008/10/a_rant_about_science_educators.php (Cheers to boingfeed for the heads-up.)
Wen the Eternally Surprised has a major outbreak of highly persistent warts on her fingers. We've tried all the over-the-counter remedies, and they've been frozen twice with liquid nitrogen to no avail...to be "toxic to both brain and liver cells", and is widely classified as a neurotoxin. So aren't you glad that when you buy the stuff for your health, you aren't actually getting any of it?
'The circadian rhythm that quietly pulses inside us all, guiding our daily cycle from sleep to wakefulness and back to sleep again, may be doing much more than just that simple metronomic task, according... but... ...it's probably time now to stop stretching the meaning of "ownership" merely to pander to the ignorant.

Okay so you know how there's like Mad Science which is what Mad Scientists do? Well here's a brand new feature straight from my old brainbox and it's called Bad Science. I guess that makes me a Bad Scientist...completely fails to occur whenever I'm put in charge. Caution: Don' t try eating things which have more than three syllables in the name and always wear full body armour when in the prescence of trifles
